Age is just a number for these famous celebrity fathers, who all welcomed children past the age of 50. Mick Jagger was 73 when he welcomed his eighth child and Billy Joel just became a father for the third time at 68.

Here, we look back at other stars who embraced fatherhood in the later stages of life.

Billy Joel, 68, proudly shows off his newborn daughter Remy following her birth on Oct. 22. The Piano Man and his wife Alexis are now proud parents of two daughters, including two-year-old Della.

ROD STEWART

With eight beautiful children that bear his name, Rod Stewart is officially a master at fatherhood. The Scottish singer became a first time dad at the age 18 but he along with the baby's mother decided to put the child up for adoption. More than a decade passed before the star gave fatherhood another go after welcoming daughter Kimberley in 1979. Rod's youngest son Aiden arrived in 2011, shortly after celebrating his 66th birthday.

MICHAEL DOUGLAS

After having a son in his early 30s, Oscar-winning actor Michael Douglas waited another twenty years before before embracing fatherhood again. He and wife Catherine Zeta Zones have two children together, including daughter Carys who was born in 2003 when Michael was 59.
